Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending September 30, 2025 (Form 10-Q)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in this report and the more detailed information in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Form 10-K"). You can find a "Glossary of Terms Used in This Report" in MD&A in our 2024 Form 10-K.
This report includes forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations that are subject to significant uncertainties. Future events and our results may differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including those discussed in "Forward-Looking Statements" and elsewhere in this report and in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our 2024 Form 10-K.
About Fannie Mae
Fannie Mae is a leading source of financing for residential mortgages in the United States. We provided $286.7 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market in the first nine months of 2025, which enabled the financing of approximately 1.1 million home purchases, refinancings, and rental units.
We are a government-sponsored, stockholder-owned corporation, chartered by Congress to provide liquidity and stability to the U.S. housing market and to promote access to mortgage credit. We primarily do this by buying residential mortgage loans that are originated by lenders. We place these loans into trusts and issue guaranteed mortgage-backed securities ("MBS" or "Fannie Mae MBS") that global investors buy from us. We do not originate mortgage loans or lend money directly to borrowers.
We provide a guaranty on the MBS that we issue. If a borrower fails to make a payment on a mortgage loan that is included in a Fannie Mae MBS, we pay the shortfall amount to the MBS investor. In exchange for providing this guaranty, we receive a guaranty fee. Guaranty fees are the primary source of our revenues.
Because we assume the credit risk for mortgage loans in our MBS, our earnings are affected by the credit performance of these loans. Credit risk management is therefore key to our business and financial results. To help manage our mortgage credit risk exposure, and in response to capital and other requirements, we transfer some of our credit risk exposure to third parties through credit risk transfer and mortgage insurance. For a discussion of how we manage credit risk, see "MD&A-Single-Family Business-Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management" and "MD&A-Multifamily Business-Multifamily Mortgage Credit Risk Management" in this report and in our 2024 Form 10-K.
We support both single-family and multifamily housing. Our Single-Family business provides financing for properties that have four or fewer residential units. Our Multifamily business provides financing for residential buildings with five or more units. As of June 30, 2025 (the latest date for which information is available), Fannie Mae owned or guaranteed an estimated 25% of single-family mortgage debt outstanding and an estimated 21% of multifamily mortgage debt outstanding in the United States.
We have been in conservatorship since 2008. The Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") is our conservator. During conservatorship, our Board has no fiduciary duties to the company or its stockholders, as they owe their fiduciary duties of care and loyalty solely to FHFA as conservator. Since March 17, 2025, the FHFA Director has served as the Chairman of our Board, and FHFA's General Counsel has also served as a member of our Board. Conservatorship and our agreements with the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") significantly restrict our business activities and stockholder rights. For more information about the impact of conservatorship and these agreements on our business, stockholders, and our uncertain future, see "Business-Conservatorship and Treasury Agreements" and "Risk Factors-GSE and Conservatorship Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K and "Legislation and Regulation" in this report.

Financial Results Summary
Please read this summary together with our MD&A, our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and the accompanying notes.
Overview of Financial Results
Summary of Financial Results
Quarterly Results
Net revenues of $7.3 billion in the third quarter of 2025 were relatively flat compared with the third quarter of 2024. Net revenues consist of net interest income and fee and other income.
Provision for credit losses was $338 million in the third quarter of 2025, which consists of a $269 million single-family provision for credit losses and a $69 million multifamily provision for credit losses. Our single-family provision for credit losses was primarily driven by provision associated with loans that we acquired during the period, which primarily consisted of purchase loans. Our multifamily provision for credit losses was primarily driven by increased delinquencies.
Net incomeof $3.9 billion in the third quarter of 2025 decreased by $185 million compared with the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by a $365 million shift from a benefit for credit losses to a provision for credit losses, partially offset by a $161 million shift from other expense in the third quarter of 2024 to other income in the third quarter of 2025.
Year-to-Date Results
Net revenues of $21.6 billion in the first nine months of 2025 decreased by $139 million compared with the first nine months of 2024.
Provision for credit losses was $1.3 billion in the first nine months of 2025, which consists of a $1.0 billion single-family provision for credit losses and a $278 million multifamily provision for credit losses. Our single-family provision for credit losses was primarily driven by provision associated with loans that we acquired during the period, which primarily consisted of purchase loans, and by weaker-than-expected home price growth. Our multifamily provision for credit losses was primarily driven by increased delinquencies.
Net incomeof $10.8 billion in the first nine months of 2025 decreased by $2.0 billion compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily driven by a $1.8 billion shift from a benefit for credit losses to a provision for credit losses and a $632 million decrease in fair value gains.
Net worthincreased by $10.8 billion in the first nine months of 2025 to $105.5 billion as of September 30, 2025. The increase is attributable to $10.8 billion of comprehensive income for the first nine months of 2025.

MD&A | Legislation and Regulation
Legislation and Regulation
This section updates and supplements information regarding legislative, regulatory, conservatorship and other related matters affecting our business set forth in "Business-Conservatorship and Treasury Agreements" and "Business-Legislation and Regulation" in our 2024 Form 10-K, as well as in "MD&A-Legislation and Regulation" in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 ("First Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q") and in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 ("Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q"). Also see "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K for discussions of risks relating to legislative and regulatory matters.
Administration Comments Regarding Our Future
In recent months, the Administration has made public comments suggesting it is considering various options for the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We cannot predict the likelihood, timing or nature of administrative or legislative actions relating to our future. See "Risk Factors-GSE and Conservatorship Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of risks relating to our uncertain future.
Proposed 2026-2028 Housing Goals
We are subject to housing goals, which require that a specified amount of the mortgage loans we acquire meet requirements relating to affordability or location. Our housing goals are set by FHFA in accordance with the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended (the "GSE Act"). In October 2025, FHFA published a proposed rule that would establish housing goals for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for 2026 through 2028, replacing goals previously established for 2026 and 2027. For single-family loans, the proposed rule would reduce our requirements for low-income home purchase loans and very low-income home purchase loans, maintain our requirement for low-income refinance loans, and establish one subgoal for single-family low-income areas home purchase loans to replace the two current area-based subgoals. For multifamily loans, FHFA's proposed goals for 2026 through 2028 are unchanged from the multifamily housing goals previously approved for 2025 through 2027. Comments on the proposed rule are due in November 2025. See "Business-Legislation and Regulation-Housing Goals" and "Risk Factors-GSE and Conservatorship Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K for more information on our housing goals and how pursuing them may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
2024 Housing Goals Performance
In October 2025, FHFA notified us that it had determined that we met five of our six 2024 single-family housing goals and subgoals, and all of our 2024 multifamily housing goals and subgoals. FHFA determined that we missed the single-family very low-income home purchase goal. FHFA also determined not to require us to submit a housing plan because we missed the goal by a narrow margin. See "Business-Legislation and Regulation-Housing Goals" in our 2024 Form 10-K for more information regarding our 2024 housing goals requirements.
Stress Testing
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") requires certain financial companies to conduct annual stress tests. Under FHFA regulations, each year we are required to conduct a stress test using two different scenarios of financial conditions provided by FHFA-baseline and severely adverse-and to publish a summary of our stress test results for the severely adverse scenario by August 15. In August 2024, FHFA temporarily waived the requirement that we publish our 2024 stress test results by August 15, 2024. On August 15, 2025, we published on our website the results of the severely adverse scenarios for 2024 and 2025.
Key Market Economic Indicators
In "MD&A-Key Market Economic Indicators" in our 2024 Form 10-K, we discuss how varying macroeconomic conditions can influence our financial results across different business and economic environments, and we provide forecasts and expectations with respect to some of these macroeconomic conditions. Below we provide an update to these forecasts and expectations, as well as updates to certain macroeconomic information. Our forecasts and expectations are based on many assumptions, subject to many uncertainties and may change, perhaps substantially, from our current forecasts and expectations. See "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K and "Forward-Looking Statements" in this report for a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current forecasts and expectations.

Market Interest Rates
Selected Market Interest Rates
(1)Refers to the U.S. weekly average fixed-rate mortgage rate according to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. These rates are reported using the latest available data for a given period.
(2)According to Bloomberg.
(3)Refers to the daily rate per the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The U.S. weekly average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate decreased to 6.30% at the end of the third quarter of 2025, compared to 6.77% at the end of the second quarter of 2025 and 6.85% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
Home Prices
Single-Family Quarterly Home Price Growth (Decline) Rate(1)
(1)Calculated internally using property data on loans purchased by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other third-party home sales data. Fannie Mae's home price index is a weighted repeat-transactions index, measuring average price changes in repeat sales on the same properties. Fannie Mae's home price index excludes prices on properties sold in foreclosure. Fannie Mae's home price growth rates represent estimates based on non-seasonally adjusted preliminary data and are subject to change as additional data becomes available.
Home prices on a national basis grew by an estimated 3.4% in the first nine months of 2025. Based on our expectation of a decrease in home prices in the fourth quarter of 2025, we forecast national home price growth of 2.5% for the full year of 2025. We also expect regional variation in the timing and rate of home price changes.

MD&A | Key Market Economic Indicators
Economic Activity
GDP and Unemployment Rate
(1)Real GDP growth (decline) is based on the quarterly series calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and is subject to revision.
(2)According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and subject to revision.
U.S. gross domestic product ("GDP") increased by 3.8% in the second quarter of 2025. Bureau of Economic Analysis GDP data for the third quarter of 2025 was not available at the time of filing this report. We expect GDP will grow for the full year of 2025, but at a slower pace than in 2024. The unemployment rate increased to 4.3% in August 2025, compared with 4.1% in the second quarter of 2025. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data for the third quarter of 2025 was not available at the time of filing this report. We expect the unemployment rate to continue to increase modestly in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The impact of trade, fiscal, regulatory and immigration policies is uncertain and could materially impact our outlook for interest rates, home price growth and economic growth. In addition, it remains unknown what impact, if any, the ongoing government shutdown will have on broad economic activity, including GDP and labor market conditions. See "Risk Factors-Market and Industry Risk" and "Risk Factors-Credit Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion of risks to our business and financial results associated with these factors.

Net Interest Income
Overview
Our primary source of net interest income is guaranty fees we receive for assuming the credit risk on mortgage loans underlying Fannie Mae MBS held by third parties in our guaranty book of business. We also recognize net interest income on the difference between interest income earned on the assets in our retained mortgage portfolio and our corporate liquidity portfolio (collectively, our "portfolios") and the interest expense associated with our funding debt. In addition, income or expense from hedge accounting is a component of our net interest income. See "MD&A-
Fannie Mae Third Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

Consolidated Results of Operations-Net Interest Income" in our 2024 Form 10-K for information about the sources of our net interest income.
Components of Net Interest Income
The table below displays the components of our net interest income from our guaranty book of business, from our portfolios, as well as from hedge accounting.

(2)For more information about our hedge accounting program, see "Note 9, Derivative Instruments."
Net interest income decreased by $91 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared with the third quarter of 2024, and by $226 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily driven by lower net interest income from portfolios, partially offset by higher base guaranty fee income.
Lower net interest income from portfolios.Lower net interest income from portfolios in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared with the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by higher average rates on our long-term funding debt as we issued debt in a higher-interest rate environment relative to maturing long-term debt.
Higher base guaranty fee income.Higher base guaranty fee income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared with the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by higher average guaranty fees on recent single-family acquisitions.

Analysis of Unamortized Deferred Guaranty Fees
The following charts present information about the interest rates of the loans in our single-family conventional guaranty book of business as well as information about our deferred guaranty fees.
As shown in the chart below (on the left), most of our single-family conventional guaranty book of business as of September 30, 2025 had an interest rate lower than the U.S. weekly average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate. Per Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey®, as of September 25, 2025, the U.S. weekly average interest rate for a single-family 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 6.30%. Accordingly, even if interest rates decline to 5%, most of the borrowers whose mortgage loans are in our single-family conventional guaranty book of business still would not be incentivized to refinance.
The other chart below (on the right) presents guaranty fees that will be amortized into deferred guaranty fee income in future periods, which we refer to as "unamortized deferred guaranty fees," as described in "MD&A-Consolidated Results of Operations-Net Interest Income-Analysis of Unamortized Deferred Guaranty Fees" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Interest Rates of Single-Family Conventional Guaranty Book of Business Compared with the U.S. Weekly Average 30-Year Fixed-Rate Mortgage Rate
Unamortized Deferred Guaranty Fees
As of September 30, 2025 (Dollars in billions)
-
Represents the U.S. weekly average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate as of September 25, 2025, according to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey®, the last published rate for the quarter ending September 30, 2025.
- Represents the net unamortized cost basis adjustment balance that will be amortized and recognized through deferred guaranty fee income over the remaining contractual life of the mortgage loans or debt.
-
Represents the percentage of single-family conventional guaranty book of business by select interest rate band based on the current interest rate of the mortgage loans.
The amount of deferred guaranty fee income we record can vary and is primarily impacted by: (1) the amount of upfront fees we charge on single-family mortgage loans, (2) changes in interest rates, which affect the premiums and discounts we record on newly acquired mortgage loans and newly created debt of consolidated trusts, and (3) the amount by which premiums and discounts on existing loans and debt of consolidated trust are different compared to newly acquired loans and debt. The balance of our unamortized deferred guaranty fees decreased as of September 30, 2025, compared with December 31, 2024, largely as a result of amortization of existing upfront fees on single-family loans and premiums of existing MBS debt. In addition, interest-rate-driven pricing changes resulted in fewer premiums on newly issued MBS debt relative to MBS debt that amortized, which further reduced the balance of unamortized deferred guaranty fees.

Analysis of Net Interest Income
The table below displays an analysis of our net interest income, average balances and related yields earned on assets and incurred on liabilities. For most components of the average balances, we use a daily weighted average of unpaid principal balance net of unamortized cost basis adjustments. When daily average balance information is not available, such as for mortgage loans, we use monthly averages.

Single-Family (Provision) Benefit for Credit Losses
Our single-family provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by provision associated with loans that we acquired during the period, which primarily consisted of purchase loans. Purchase loans generally have higher original loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios than refinance loans; therefore, purchase loans have a higher estimated risk of default and loss severity in the allowance than refinance loans and a correspondingly higher credit loss provision at the time of acquisition.
Our single-family provision for credit losses in the first nine months of 2025 was primarily driven by provision associated with loans that we acquired during the period, which primarily consisted of purchase loans, and by weaker-than-expected home price growth. Lower home prices increase the likelihood that loans will default and increase the amount of losses on loans that do default, which impacts our estimate of losses and ultimately increases our loss reserves and provision for credit losses.
See "Key Market Economic Indicators" in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information about how home prices affect our credit loss estimates. See "Key Market Economic Indicators" in this report for a discussion of home price growth and our home price forecast. Also see "Critical Accounting Estimates" in this report for more information about our home price forecast and how it can impact our single-family (provision) benefit for credit losses.
Our single-family benefit for credit losses in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by a benefit from forecasted home price growth and a benefit from actual and projected interest rates, partially offset by a provision from changes in loan activity, as described below. Additionally, our allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2024 considered the potential impact of Hurricane Helene.
Benefit from forecasted home price growth.During the third quarter of 2024, our forecast of future home prices improved. Higher home prices decrease the likelihood that loans will default and reduce the amount of losses on loans that do default, which impacts our estimate of losses and ultimately reduces our loss reserves and provision for credit losses.
Benefit from actual and projected interest rates. Actual and projected interest rates decreased in the third quarter of 2024, which reduced the probability of default, resulting in a benefit for credit losses.
Provision from changes in loan activity.This includes provision on newly acquired loans and was primarily driven by the credit risk profile of our single-family acquisitions for the third quarter of 2024, which primarily consisted of purchase loans.

Our single-family benefit for credit losses in the first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by a benefit from actual and forecasted home price growth, partially offset by a provision from changes in loan activity.
Benefit from actual and forecasted home price growth.During the first nine months of 2024, actual home prices appreciated more than originally projected and our forecast of future home prices also improved.
Provision from changes in loan activity.This includes provision on newly acquired loans and was primarily driven by the credit risk profile of our single-family acquisitions for the first nine months of 2024, which primarily consisted of purchase loans.
Multifamily (Provision) Benefit for Credit Losses
Our multifamily provision for credit losses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in delinquencies including provision from seriously delinquent loans that were written down to the net recoverable amount of the loans' collateral during the period.
Our multifamily provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2024 was largely driven by certain adjustable-rate conventional loans that were written down during the period. We also recognized provision for credit losses because, compared to our previous forecast, our third quarter of 2024 forecast expected further slight decreases in projected multifamily property values and a longer period of time for projected multifamily property values to improve. Our multifamily allowance and estimate for credit losses as of September 30, 2024 also considered uncertainty. This included uncertainty relating to multifamily property values, as well as uncertainty due to the investigation of multifamily lending transactions with suspected fraud, which may increase the risk of default.
Our multifamily provision for credit losses in the first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by loan delinquencies in our multifamily guaranty book of business, including provision attributable to adjustable-rate conventional loans that became seriously delinquent and were written down to the net recoverable amount, declines in estimated actual and projected multifamily property values, and provision for uncertainty.
Change in Expected Credit Enhancement Recoveries
Change in expected credit enhancement recoveries consists of the change in expected and realized benefits from our freestanding credit enhancements, including any realized amounts. Change in expected credit enhancement recoveries decreased in third quarter and first nine months of 2025 compared with the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, driven by the decreased multifamily provision for credit losses. The decrease in estimated credit losses on our multifamily guaranty book of business decreased the amount we expect to receive from our multifamily loss sharing arrangements.

Fair Value Gains (Losses), Net
The estimated fair value of our derivatives, trading securities and other financial instruments carried at fair value may fluctuate substantially from period to period because of changes in interest rates, the yield curve, mortgage and credit spreads and implied volatility, as well as activity related to these financial instruments.
The table below displays the components of our fair value gains and losses.

(2)The "Impact of hedge accounting" reflected in this table shows the net gain or loss from swaps in hedging relationships plus any accrued interest during the applicable periods, which are recognized in "Net interest income."
(3)Consists primarily of fair value gains and losses on mortgage loans held at fair value.
Fair value activity in the third quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by declining interest rates, resulting in gains on fixed-rate trading securities, mortgage loans held at fair value, and risk management derivatives, which were more than offset by losses on mortgage commitment derivatives and long-term debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value.
Fair value activity in the first nine months of 2025 was primarily driven by declining interest rates, resulting in gains on fixed-rate trading securities, which were more than offset by losses on mortgage commitment derivatives, long-term debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value, and risk management derivatives.
Fair value activity in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by declining interest rates, resulting in gains on fixed-rate trading securities, which were more than offset by losses on mortgage commitment derivatives, long-term debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value, and risk management derivatives.
Fair value activity in the first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by declining interest rates, resulting in gains on fixed-rate trading securities, which were partially offset by losses on mortgage commitment derivatives, long-term debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value, and risk management derivatives.
The impact of hedge accounting resulted in incremental gains for each of the respective periods. Our hedge accounting program is designed to hedge our exposure to changes in benchmark interest rates and, therefore, offsets a portion of the fair value volatility we would otherwise experience. The fair value gains and losses after the impact of hedge accounting primarily relate to spreads, convexity, and other components that are not effectively or intended to be captured by our hedge accounting program.

Total affordable housing allocations 46 45 120 115
Total legislative assessments $ 943 $ 948 $ 2,813 $ 2,817
(1)TCCA fees are expenses recognized as a result of the 10 basis point increase in guaranty fees on all single-family mortgages delivered to us on or after April 1, 2012 pursuant to the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 and as extended by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which we pay to Treasury.
(2)FHFA assessments are expenses relating to our obligation under the GSE Act to pay FHFA to cover a portion of its costs, expenses and working capital.
(3)Affordable housing allocations relates to the GSE Act requirement to set aside each year an amount equal to 4.2 basis points of the unpaid principal balance of our new business purchases and to pay this amount to specified U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and Treasury funds in support of affordable housing. In March 2025, we paid $160 million to the funds based on our new business purchases in 2024. For the first nine months of 2025, we recognized an expense of $120 million related to this obligation based on $285.8 billion in new business purchases during the period. We expect to pay this amount to the funds in 2026, plus additional amounts to be accrued based on our new business purchases in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses decreased from $884 million in the third quarter of 2024 to $819 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by fewer employees and contractors. Administrative expenses decreased by $14 million from the first nine months of 2024 to the first nine months of 2025, primarily driven by fewer employees and contractors partially offset by an increase in severance costs.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net, shifted from an expense of $136 million in the third quarter of 2024 to income of $25 million in the third quarter of 2025. Other expense decreased from $416 million in the first nine months of 2024 to $331 million in the first nine months of 2025. The shift to other income for the third quarter of 2025 and the decline in other expense for the first nine months of 2025 were primarily driven by an increase in debt extinguishment gains as a result of our purchase of single-family Fannie Mae MBS in the third quarter of 2025, as well as a decrease in our single-family foreclosed property expense as a result of a reduction of our REO properties and reduced repair costs. This was partially offset by a decrease in our expected credit enhancement recoveries on multifamily loans. See "(Provision) Benefit for Credit Losses" for a discussion of our changes in expected credit enhancement recoveries.

Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Investments in Securities, at Fair Value
The primary driver of the increase in securities purchased under agreements to resell as well as the decrease in investments in securities, at fair value from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025, was the reinvestment of proceeds from sales and maturities of U.S. Treasury securities into securities purchased under agreements to resell and Fannie Mae MBS held in our retained mortgage portfolio.
Mortgage Loans, Net of Allowance for Loan Losses
The mortgage loans reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are classified as either held for sale ("HFS") or held for investment ("HFI") and include loans owned by Fannie Mae and loans held in consolidated trusts.
Mortgage loans, net of allowance for loan losses decreased from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025, driven primarily by loan paydowns, liquidations and sales outpacing acquisitions during the first nine months of 2025.
For additional information on our mortgage loans, see "Note 4, Mortgage Loans," and for additional information on changes in our allowance for loan losses, see "Note 5, Allowance for Loan Losses."
Debt
Debt of Fannie Mae decreased from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025 as our funding needs were primarily satisfied by earnings retained from our operations. The decrease in debt of consolidated trusts from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by liquidations and extinguishments outpacing issuance activities, offset by sales of MBS held in our retained mortgage portfolio. See "Liquidity and Capital Management-Liquidity Management-

Debt Funding" for a summary of activity in debt of Fannie Mae and information on our outstanding short-term and long-term debt. Also see "Note 8, Short-Term and Long-Term Debt" for additional information on our total outstanding debt.
Retained Mortgage Portfolio
Our retained mortgage portfolio consists of mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities that we own, including Fannie Mae MBS and non-Fannie Mae mortgage-related securities. Assets held by consolidated MBS trusts that back mortgage-related securities owned by third parties are not included in our retained mortgage portfolio.
We use our retained mortgage portfolio primarily to provide liquidity to the mortgage market through portfolio securitization transactions and to support our loss mitigation activities.
We classify our retained mortgage portfolio into three categories:
Lender liquidityincludes balances related to our portfolio securitization activity, which supports our efforts to provide liquidity to the single-family and multifamily mortgage markets.
Loss mitigationincludes delinquent mortgage loans from our MBS trusts, which enables us to initiate certain loss mitigation efforts.
Otherprimarily represents assets that we previously purchased for investment purposes.
The following table displays the components of our retained mortgage portfolio. Based on the nature of the asset, these balances are included in either "Investments in securities, at fair value" or "Mortgage loans, net of allowance for loan losses" in our "Summary of Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets."

(2)Includes single-family loans on nonaccrual status of $11.8 billion and $10.3 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Also includes multifamily loans on nonaccrual status of $2.5 billion and $2.9 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
(3)Includes Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae reverse mortgage securities. We stopped acquiring newly originated reverse mortgage loans in 2010.
(4)Other mortgage loans primarily includes multifamily loans on accrual status and single-family loans that are not included in the loss mitigation or lender liquidity categories. Other mortgage securities primarily includes private-label securities and mortgage revenue bonds.
The amount of mortgage assets that we may own is capped at $225 billion under the terms of our senior preferred stock purchase agreement with Treasury. We are also subject to specified limitations on the composition of our retained mortgage portfolio pursuant to FHFA guidance.
Fannie Mae Third Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
MD&A | Retained Mortgage Portfolio
We include 10% of the notional value of the interest-only securities we hold in calculating the size of the retained mortgage portfolio for the purpose of determining compliance with the senior preferred stock purchase agreement mortgage assets cap and associated FHFA instructions. As of September 30, 2025, 10% of the notional value of our interest-only securities was $1.7 billion, which is not included in the table above.
Under the terms of our MBS trust documents, we have the option or, in some instances, the obligation, to purchase mortgage loans that meet specific criteria from an MBS trust. FHFA has also provided us with instruction on our single-family delinquent loan buyout policy. The purchase price for these loans is the unpaid principal balance of the loans plus accrued interest. In support of our loss mitigation strategies, we purchased $11.7 billion of loans from our single-family MBS trusts in the first nine months of 2025, the substantial majority of which were delinquent, compared with $9.6 billion of loans in the first nine months of 2024.
Guaranty Book of Business
When we securitize mortgage loans originated by lenders into Fannie Mae mortgage-backed securities, we issue guarantees, assuming the credit risk for those mortgage loans. Our guaranty book of business offers insight into both the guarantees we've issued and the credit risk of the loans we've acquired that back our MBS outstanding or that are held in our retained mortgage portfolio.
Our "guaranty book of business" consists of: (1) Fannie Mae MBS outstanding, excluding the portions of any structured securities we issue that are backed by Freddie Mac securities, (2) mortgage loans of Fannie Mae held in our retained mortgage portfolio, and (3) other credit enhancements that we provide on mortgage assets. These components are categorized as either conventional or government based on whether the underlying mortgage loans or securities are fully or partially guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government (referred to as "government") or are not fully or partially guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government (referred to as "conventional").
We use the term "Fannie Mae MBS" or "our MBS" to refer to any type of mortgage-backed security that we issue, including Fannie Mae-issued uniform mortgage-backed securities, or "UMBS®"and structured securities such as Supers® and Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit securities ("REMICs").
We and Freddie Mac each issue single-family UMBS. In some instances, our MBS are resecuritizations of securities backed in whole or in part by Freddie Mac-issued UMBS, in which case our guaranty extends to the underlying Freddie Mac securities, shown as "Freddie Mac securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae" in the table below. The Freddie Mac securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae are excluded from our "guaranty book of business" because Freddie Mac continues to guarantee the payment of principal and interest on the underlying Freddie Mac securities, but included in "Total Fannie Mae guarantees" as presented in the table below.
The table below displays the composition of our guaranty book of business and our total Fannie Mae guarantees based on unpaid principal balance.

(1)Represents the unpaid principal balance of Freddie Mac-issued UMBS backing Fannie Mae-issued Supers and REMICs. Because we do not have the power to direct matters (primarily the servicing of mortgage loans) that impact the credit risk to which we are exposed, which constitute control of these securitization trusts, we do not consolidate these trusts in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, giving rise to off-balance sheet exposure. See "Liquidity and Capital Management-Liquidity Management-Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" and "Note 7, Financial Guarantees for more information regarding our maximum exposure to loss on unconsolidated Fannie Mae MBS and Freddie Mac securities.

Presentation of Guaranty Book of Business in the Single-Family Business and Multifamily Business sections
We present the guaranty book of business in this section and in our Monthly Summary reports, which are available on our website, based on the unpaid principal balance of our MBS outstanding. In the "Single-Family Business" and "Multifamily Business" sections of this report, we present our single-family conventional guaranty book of business and our multifamily guaranty book of business, respectively, based on the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans underlying our MBS. These amounts differ primarily as a result of payments we receive on underlying loans that have not yet been paid to the MBS holders or in instances where we have advanced missed borrower payments on mortgage loans to make required distributions to MBS holders. The difference in these measurements is less than 1%. Using these two presentations allows us to base the disclosure in this section and in our Monthly Summary reports based on the MBS measurement, and disclosures about the composition of loans in our guaranty book of business based on the loan measurement.

Net Interest Income
(Dollars in millions)
Single-Family
Net interest income decreased by $139 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared with the third quarter of 2024, and by $251 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily driven by lower net interest income from portfolios, partially offset by higher base guaranty fee income.
Multifamily
Net interest income increased by $48 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared with the third quarter of 2024, and by $25 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily driven by higher guaranty fee income as a result of an increase in the size of our multifamily guaranty book of business and higher yield maintenance income, partially offset by lower average charged guaranty fees.

Fair Value Gains (Losses), Net
(Dollars in millions)
Single-Family
Fair value losses, net in the third quarter of 2025 were primarily driven by losses on our mortgage commitment derivatives and long-term debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value, all of which were primarily due to falling interest rates during the third quarter of 2025, which were offset by gains on our trading securities.
Fair value gains in the first nine months of 2025 were primarily driven by declining interest rates, resulting in gains on fixed-rate trading securities, which were offset by losses on mortgage commitment derivatives, long-term debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value and risk management derivatives.
Fair value losses, net in the third quarter of 2024 were primarily driven by losses on mortgage commitment derivatives, long-term debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value and risk management derivatives, all of which were primarily due to falling interest rates during the third quarter of 2024. These fair value losses were substantially offset by fair value gains on fixed-rate trading securities during the third quarter of 2024, which were also primarily due to falling interest rates during the third quarter of 2024.

Other Income (Expense), Net
(Dollars in millions)
Single-Family
Other expense, net, decreased $216 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared with the third quarter of 2024, and by $320 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily driven by an increase in debt extinguishment gains as a result of our purchase of single-family Fannie Mae MBS in the third quarter of 2025, as well as a decrease in our single-family foreclosed property expense as a result of a reduction in our REO properties and reduced repair costs.
Multifamily
The shift to other expense, net of $7 million in the first nine months of 2025 from other income, net of $228 million in the first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by a decline in our expected credit enhancement recoveries on multifamily loans. The decrease in estimated credit losses subject to credit enhancements on our multifamily guaranty book of business decreased the amount we expect to receive from our multifamily loss sharing arrangements.

Total housing activity modestly increased in the third quarter of 2025 compared with the second quarter of 2025. Existing home sales averaged 4.02 million units annualized in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 3.99 million units in the second quarter of 2025, according to data from the National Association of REALTORS®. According to the October forecast from our Economic and Strategic Research Group, new single-family home sales are estimated to average an annualized rate of approximately 692,000 units in the third quarter of 2025, compared with approximately 670,000 units in the second quarter of 2025.
The U.S. weekly average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.30% as of September 25, 2025, compared with 6.77% as of June 26, 2025, and averaged 6.57% in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 6.79% in the second quarter of 2025, according to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey®.
Single-family mortgage market originations increased from an estimated $456 billion in the third quarter of 2024 to an estimated $493 billion in the third quarter of 2025. According to the October forecast from our Economic and Strategic Research Group, total originations in the U.S. single-family mortgage market in 2025 are forecasted to increase from 2024 levels by approximately 11%, from an estimated $1.70 trillion in 2024 to $1.88 trillion in 2025, and the amount of refinance originations in the U.S. single-family mortgage market are forecasted to increase from an estimated $364 billion in 2024 to $497 billion in 2025. Our Economic and Strategic Research Group's October forecast is based on data available as of October 10, 2025.

Our market share is influenced by various factors, including the pricing of single-family loans and the competitive market environment. When making pricing and acquisition decisions for single-family loans, we must consider a mix of often competing factors, such as competitive market dynamics, our capital requirements, our housing mission requirements and UMBS market liquidity objectives. Balancing these considerations can sometimes create challenges that impact our ability to compete effectively in the marketplace. For a discussion of factors that affect or could affect our business, our competitive environment, demand for our MBS, or the liquidity and market value of our MBS, as well as the risks associated with our conservatorship, our higher capital requirements relative to that of our primary competitor, our housing mission requirements, the UMBS market and the performance of our MBS, see "Business-Conservatorship and Treasury Agreements," "Business-Legislation and Regulation," "Risk Factors" and "MD&A-Single-Family Business-Single-Family Competition" in our 2024 Form 10-K, as well as "Legislation and Regulation" in our First and Second Quarter 2025 Form 10-Qs and in this report.

(1)For information reported in this "Single-Family Business" section, our single-family conventional guaranty book of business is measured using the unpaid principal balance of our mortgage loans underlying Fannie Mae MBS outstanding.
(2) Excludes the impact of a 10 basis point guaranty fee increase implemented pursuant to the TCCA, the incremental revenue from which is paid to Treasury and not retained by us.
(3)Our single-family conventional guaranty book of business primarily consists of single-family conventional mortgage loans underlying Fannie Mae MBS outstanding. It also includes single-family conventional mortgage loans of Fannie Mae held in our retained mortgage portfolio, and other credit enhancements that we provide on single-family conventional mortgage assets. Our average single-family conventional guaranty book of business is based on the average of quarter-end balances.
Our single-family conventional loan acquisition volumes remained at low levels in the third quarter of 2025. Housing affordability constraints, limited supply, and market competition continued to put downward pressure on the volume of purchase loans we acquired. In addition, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate in third quarter of 2025 remained higher than the interest rates of most outstanding single-family loans, resulting in low refinancing volumes.
Average charged guaranty fee on newly acquired conventional single-family loans is a metric management uses to measure the amount we earn as compensation for the credit risk we manage and to assess our return. Average charged guaranty fee represents, on an annualized basis, the average of the base guaranty fees charged during the period for our single-family conventional guaranty arrangements, which we receive monthly over the life of the loan, plus the recognition of any upfront cash payments, including loan-level price adjustments, based on an estimated average life at the time of acquisition.
Our average charged guaranty fee on newly acquired conventional single-family loans, net of TCCA fees increased in the third quarter of 2025 compared with the third quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of a shift in the profile of loans we acquired to loans with higher upfront fees, as well as higher base guaranty fees on new single-family loan acquisitions.

New Credit Score Models
Fannie Mae uses credit scores to provide a foundation for risk-based pricing, and support disclosures to investors. We currently use the "classic FICO®Score" from Fair Isaac Corporation as our credit score model, which FHFA has approved.
In October 2022, FHFA announced the validation and approval of two new credit score models for use by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: the FICO® Score 10T credit score model and the VantageScore®4.0 credit score model. In July 2025, FHFA announced that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are moving forward with an interim phase in the transition to the new credit score models, in which we will permit lenders to deliver mortgage loans using a credit score generated by either the classic FICO Score model or the VantageScore 4.0 model as we continue to work towards full implementation of modernized credit scoring and credit reporting. FHFA also announced that implementation efforts are underway with respect to the FICO 10T credit score model, and that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac expect to be able to publish historical FICO 10T data and adopt scores from the model at a later date.
We will update our Selling Guide and make additional changes to support the adoption of VantageScore 4.0 in the near future. During the interim phase, we will accept either classic FICO Score or VantageScore 4.0 credit scores on a given loan, but not both. FHFA has advised that the inclusion of VantageScore 4.0 credit scores during the interim phase will not change our current tri-merge credit reporting requirement.

Single-Family Credit Enhancement and Transfer of Mortgage Credit Risk
Our charter generally requires credit enhancement on any single-family conventional mortgage loan that we purchase or securitize if it has an LTV ratio over 80% at the time of acquisition. We generally achieve this through primary mortgage insurance. We also enter into various other types of transactions in which we transfer mortgage credit risk to third parties. For a discussion of our exposure to and management of the counterparty credit risk associated with the providers of these credit enhancements, see "MD&A-Risk Management-Institutional Counterparty Credit Risk Management," "Note 14, Concentrations of Credit Risk" and "Risk Factors-Credit Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
The table below displays information about loans in our single-family conventional guaranty book of business covered by one or more forms of credit enhancement, including mortgage insurance or a credit risk transfer transaction. The risk in force of our back-end credit risk transfer transactions, which refers to the maximum amount of losses that could be absorbed by investors in those transactions, was approximately $41 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared with approximately $43 billion as of December 31, 2024. Our mortgage insurance risk in force, which refers to our maximum potential loss recovery under the applicable mortgage insurance policies in force, was approximately $202 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the loans in our single-family conventional guaranty book of business that were currently without credit enhancement consisted primarily of loans with an LTV ratio less than or equal to 60% or loans with an original maturity of 20 years or less. See "MD&A-Single-Family Business-Single-Family Credit Enhancement and Transfer of Mortgage Credit Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K for more information about our single-family loans without credit enhancements.
Transfer of Mortgage Credit Risk
In addition to primary mortgage insurance, our Single-Family business has developed other risk-sharing capabilities to transfer portions of our single-family mortgage credit risk to the private market. Our two primary single-family credit risk transfer programs are Connecticut Avenue Securities®("CAS") and Credit Insurance Risk Transfer™ ("CIRT™"). For a description of our single-family credit risk transfer transactions, see "MD&A-Single-Family Business-Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management-Single-Family Credit Enhancement and Transfer of Mortgage Credit Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
In the first nine months of 2025, we transferred a portion of the mortgage credit risk on single-family mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of $162.6 billion at the time of the transactions.
We provide a portion of the guaranty fee to investors in our credit risk transfer transactions as compensation for their taking on a share of the credit risk of the related loans. We record the substantial majority of expenses related to our credit risk transfer transactions in "Credit enhancement expense" within our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. In the first nine months of 2025, we paid $1.1 billion in premiums on our outstanding single-family credit risk transfer transactions.
Single-Family Problem Loan Management
Overview
Our problem loan management strategies focus primarily on reducing defaults to avoid losses that would otherwise occur and pursuing foreclosure alternatives to mitigate the severity of the losses we incur. See "MD&A-Single-Family Business-Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management-Single-Family Problem Loan Management" in our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of delinquency statistics on our problem loans, efforts undertaken to manage our problem loans, metrics regarding our loan workout activities, real estate owned ("REO") management and other single-family credit-related information. The discussion below updates some of that information. We also provide ongoing credit performance information on loans underlying single-family Fannie Mae MBS and loans covered by single-family credit risk transfer transactions. For loans backing Fannie Mae MBS, see the "Forbearance and Delinquency Dashboard" available in the MBS section of our Data Dynamics®tool, which is available at www.fanniemae.com/datadynamics. For loans covered by credit risk transfer transactions, see the "Deal Performance Data" report available in the CAS and CIRT sections of the tool. Information on our website is not incorporated into this report. Information in Data Dynamics may differ from similar measures presented in our financial statements and other public disclosures for a variety of reasons, including as a result of variations in the loan population covered, timing differences in reporting and other factors.

Delinquency
The tables below display the delinquency status of loans and changes in the volume of seriously delinquent loans in our single-family conventional guaranty book of business based on the number of loans. Single-family seriously delinquent loans are loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the foreclosure process. Our single-family serious delinquency rate is expressed as a percentage of our single-family conventional guaranty book of business based on loan count. Management monitors the single-family serious delinquency rate as an indicator of potential future credit losses and loss mitigation activities. Serious delinquency rates are reflective of our performance in assessing and managing credit risk associated with single-family loans in our guaranty book of business. A higher serious delinquency rate may result in a higher allowance for loan losses.

The increase in our single-family serious delinquency rate compared to the prior-year period was primarily driven by higher delinquencies in states impacted by hurricane activity toward the end of 2024, which reached its peak in the first quarter of 2025. For information about factors that affect our single-family serious delinquency rate, see "MD&A-Single-Family Business-Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management-Single-Family Problem Loan Management" in our 2024 Form 10-K. See "Note 11, Concentrations of Credit Risk" and the table below for additional information on the delinquency status and serious delinquency rates for specified loan categories of our single-family conventional guaranty book of business.

(2)Calculated based on the number of single-family loans that were seriously delinquent for each category divided by the total number of single-family conventional loans that were seriously delinquent.
(3)The credit-enhanced categories are not mutually exclusive. A loan with primary mortgage insurance that is also covered by a credit risk transfer transaction will be included in both the "Primary MI & other" category and the "Credit risk transfer" category. As a result, the "Credit enhanced" and "Non-credit enhanced" categories do not sum to 100%. The total percentage of our single-family conventional guaranty book of business with some form of credit enhancement as of September 30, 2025 was 47%.
(4)Refers to loans included in an agreement used to reduce credit risk by requiring primary mortgage insurance, collateral, letters of credit, corporate guarantees, or other agreements to provide an entity with some assurance that it will be compensated to some degree in the event of a financial loss. Excludes loans covered by credit risk transfer transactions unless such loans are also covered by primary mortgage insurance.
(5)Refers to loans included in reference pools for credit risk transfer transactions, including loans in these transactions that are also covered by primary mortgage insurance. For CAS and some lender risk-sharing transactions, this represents the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the underlying loans on the single-family mortgage credit book, not the outstanding reference pool, as of the specified date.
Forbearance Plans and Loan Workouts
As a part of our credit risk management efforts, we offer several types of loss mitigation options to help homeowners stay in their home or to otherwise avoid foreclosure. Loss mitigation options can consist of a forbearance plan or a loan workout. Our loan workouts reflect additional types of home retention solutions that help reinstate loans to current status, including repayment plans, payment deferrals, and loan modifications. Our loan workouts also include foreclosure alternatives, such as short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure.
Fannie Mae Third Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
MD&A | Single-Family Business | Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management
As of September 30, 2025, the unpaid principal balance of single-family loans in forbearance was $5.2 billion, or 0.1% of our single-family conventional guaranty book of business, compared with $8.0 billion, or 0.2% of our single-family conventional guaranty book of business, as of December 31, 2024.

(4)Calculated as the amount of sale proceeds received on disposition of REO properties during the respective periods, excluding those subject to repurchase requests made to our sellers or servicers, divided by the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the related loans at the time of foreclosure. Net sales price represents the contract sales price less selling costs for the property and other charges paid by the seller at closing, and excludes the costs associated with any property repairs.
(5)Calculated as the amount of sale proceeds received on disposition of REO properties during the respective periods, excluding those subject to repurchase requests made to our sellers or servicers, divided by the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the related loans at the time of foreclosure and costs to repair the property. Net sales price represents the contract sales price less selling costs for the property and other charges paid by the seller at closing.
(6)Calculated as the amount of sale proceeds received on properties sold in short sale transactions during the respective periods divided by the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the related loans. Net sales price includes borrower relocation incentive payments and subordinate lien(s) negotiated payoffs.
Our REO net sales price to unpaid principal balance, excluding costs to repair, remained elevated at 140% for the first nine months of 2025 compared to 142% for the first nine months of 2024. As a result of our previous approach to REO repairs, we made investments in the condition of properties, resulting in higher selling prices relative to the balance of the loans. When considering these costs to repair, our REO net sales price to unpaid principal balance was 82% for the first nine months of 2025 compared with 91% for the first nine months of 2024. In March 2025, FHFA directed us to revise our approach to repairing REO properties. We expect our revised approach will result in lower costs to repair REO properties than we would have incurred under our prior approach.
Single-Family Credit Loss Performance Metrics and Loan Sale Performance
The single-family credit loss performance metrics and loan sale performance measures below present information about losses or gains we realized on our single-family loans during the periods presented. For the purposes of our single-family credit loss performance metrics, credit losses or gains represent write-offs net of recoveries and foreclosed property income or expense. The amount of these losses or gains in a given period is driven by foreclosures, pre-
Fannie Mae Third Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
MD&A | Single-Family Business | Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management
foreclosure sales, post-foreclosure REO activity, mortgage loan redesignations, and other events that trigger write-offs and recoveries. The single-family credit loss metrics we present are not defined terms and may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management uses these measures to evaluate the effectiveness of our single-family credit risk management strategies in conjunction with leading indicators such as serious delinquency and forbearance rates, which are potential indicators of future realized single-family credit losses. We believe these measures provide useful information about our single-family credit performance and the factors that impact it.
The table below displays the components of our single-family credit loss performance metrics. Because sales of nonperforming and reperforming loans are a part of our credit loss mitigation strategy, we also provide information in the table below on our loan sale performance through the "Gains (losses) on sales and other valuation adjustments" line item.

Multifamily Business
This section supplements and updates information regarding our Multifamily business segment in our 2024 Form 10-K. See "MD&A-Multifamily Business" in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the primary business activities, lenders, investors and competition of our Multifamily business.
LIHTC Investment Limit Increase
We make equity investments in low income housing tax credit ("LIHTC") partnerships that support the creation and preservation of affordable rental housing units throughout the country, as described in our 2024 Form 10-K in "MD&A-Multifamily Business-Multifamily Primary Business Activities-Multifamily Activities Supporting Affordable Rental Housing-Equity Investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credit Projects." On August 5, 2025, FHFA doubled our annual LIHTC investment limit from $1 billion to $2 billion. The increase in the LIHTC investment limit enables us to expand support for Duty to Serve-designated rural areas by directing additional equity capital to underserved and rural communities, enhancing affordable housing development in areas with limited access to traditional financing.
Multifamily Mortgage Market
The multifamily market saw rental demand slow moderately along with continued elevated levels of new supply entering markets in the third quarter of 2025. Modestly decreasing interest rates were associated with an increase in multifamily property sales transactions, but property valuations declined slightly during the quarter.
Vacancy rates. Based on preliminary data from Moody's Analytics, the national multifamily vacancy rate for institutional investment-type apartment properties remained steady at around 6.5% as of September 30, 2025, compared with 6.5% as of June 30, 2025, and up from 6.1% as of September 30, 2024. The estimated average national multifamily vacancy rate over the last 15 years is approximately 5.1%.
Rents. Based on preliminary Moody's Analytics data, effective rents decreased approximately 0.1% during the third quarter of 2025, compared to increases of 0.8% during the second quarter of 2025 and 0.5% during the third quarter of 2024. Effective rents have increased 1.2% from the third quarter of 2024.
Absorption. Absorption of new and existing multifamily rental units declined in the third quarter of 2025. Based on preliminary Moody's Analytics data, absorption for the three-months ended August 2025 declined 33% compared with the three-months ended May 2025 and 39% compared with the three-months ended August 2024.
Property sales volumes.Based on preliminary MSCI RCA data, multifamily property sales for the first nine months of 2025 were $111.2 billion, higher than the volume during the same period in 2024, but remaining below the 2015 to 2019 average levels of $117 billion for the first three quarters of the year.
Property values.According to data from the MSCI RCA Commercial Property Price Index ("RCA CPPITM"), multifamily property values declined 19% from their peak in the second quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2025. Property values decreased less than 1% from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2025.
Vacancy rates and rents are important to loan performance because multifamily loans are generally repaid from the cash flows generated by the underlying property. Several years of strong property fundamentals, low vacancy rates and rising rents helped to increase property values in most metropolitan areas, but that rent growth and vacancy rate trend reversed starting in early 2023.
We estimate that more than 600,000 multifamily rental units were delivered to the U.S. housing market in 2024, which is well above the past 10-year average of 409,000 units delivered annually. Additionally, there were approximately 817,000 multifamily rental units underway as of August 2025, and based on recent historical trends we expect between 450,000 and 500,000 units will be completed in 2025.
Despite elevated levels of new supply, we expect vacancy rates will remain generally steady for the remainder of 2025, and we expect cumulative rent growth below 2.0% for the year if renter household formation continues at its recent pace and elevated single-family housing prices in many places continue to keep a number of tenants renting longer. If job growth slows substantially, lower demand could push up vacancies and limit rent growth potential.
Property value is important to credit quality because when a multifamily loan matures, a borrower may be required to make up any value shortfalls if the value estimate has declined below the unpaid principal balance and the borrower needs new financing for the property. A borrower may default on its loan if the unpaid principal balance of the loan is significantly higher than the current property value.
Multifamily property capitalization rates, the indicated rate of return on investment for commercial properties sold during the quarter, were estimated at 5.6% in the third quarter of 2025, up slightly from the second quarter of 2025, but the same level as in the third quarter of 2024. Multifamily capitalization rates increased substantially between the first
Fannie Mae Third Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
MD&A | Multifamily Business | Multifamily Mortgage Market
quarter of 2022 and 2024 but have averaged around 5.5% since then, with the spread between multifamily capitalization rates and 10-year Treasury rates, which is an important consideration for commercial real estate investors, remaining significantly narrower than the spread that was observed prior to 2022.

(2)Reflects new units financed by first liens and excludes manufactured housing rentals.
Multifamily business volumes increased by 47% in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily reflecting increased market activity. For 2025, FHFA has capped our multifamily loan purchases at $73 billion. FHFA has exempted from the volume cap loans financing workforce housing properties meeting specified criteria that preserve long-term affordability for the properties.

It does not include non-Fannie Mae multifamily mortgage-related securities held in our retained mortgage portfolio for which we do not provide a guaranty.
Our multifamily guaranty book of business grew to $521.3 billion as of September 30, 2025, a 7.3% increase from September 30, 2024. The average charged guaranty fee on our multifamily guaranty book of business decreased 2.7 bps as of September 30, 2025 compared with September 30, 2024, due to lower average charged fees on our acquisitions for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first nine months of 2025 as compared with loans in our multifamily guaranty book of business as of September 30, 2024.

(3)For our business volumes, the DSCR is calculated using the actual debt service payments for the loan. For our book of business, our estimates of current DSCRs are based on the latest available income information, including the related debt service covering a 12-month period, from quarterly and annual statements for these properties. When an annual statement is the latest statement available, it is used. When operating statement information is not available, the underwritten DSCR is used. Co-op loans are excluded from this metric.
(4)Consists of mortgage loans that were underwritten with an interest-only term, regardless of whether the loan is currently in its interest-only period.

MAH loans are included within the asset class categories referenced above.
(6)Small balance loans refer to multifamily loans with an original unpaid principal balance of up to $9 million. Small balance loans are included within the asset class categories referenced above. We present this metric in the table based on loan count rather than unpaid principal balance. Small balance loans comprised 10% of our multifamily guaranty book of business as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, based on unpaid principal balance of the loans.

Multifamily Transfer of Mortgage Credit Risk
Front-End Credit Risk Sharing
We primarily transfer credit risk on the multifamily loans we guarantee through our Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS®") program, which delegates to DUS lenders the ability to underwrite and service multifamily loans, in accordance with our standards and requirements. Loans serviced by DUS lenders and their affiliates represented substantially all of our multifamily guaranty book of business as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. See "MD&A-Multifamily Business-Multifamily Mortgage Credit Risk Management-Multifamily Transfer of Mortgage Credit Risk"in our 2024 Form 10-K for a description of our DUS program.
Back-End Credit Risk Sharing
To complement our DUS front-end lender-risk sharing program, we also engage in back-end credit risk transfer transactions through our Multifamily CIRTTM("MCIRTTM") and Multifamily Connecticut Avenue Securities®("MCASTM") programs. Our back-end MCIRT and MCAS credit risk transfer programs transfer a portion of the credit risk associated with a reference pool of multifamily mortgage loans to insurers, reinsurers, or investors. During the first nine months of 2025, we entered into two multifamily credit risk transfer transactions through our MCIRT and MCAS programs.
The table below displays the total unpaid principal balance of multifamily loans and the percentage of our multifamily guaranty book of business, based on unpaid principal balance, that is covered by a back-end credit risk transfer transaction. The table does not reflect front-end lender risk-sharing arrangements, as only a small portion of our multifamily guaranty book of business is not covered by these arrangements.

Credit Performance Statistics on Multifamily Problem Loans
The percentage of loans in our multifamily guaranty book of business that were criticized was 6% as of September 30, 2025, compared with 7% as of December 31, 2024. Our criticized loan population remains elevated, reflecting the continued impact of the high interest rate environment on adjustable-rate mortgages. The criticized loans category substantially consists of loans classified as "Substandard" and also includes loans classified as "Special Mention" or "Doubtful." Substandard loans are loans that have a well-defined weakness that could impact their timely full repayment. While the majority of the substandard loans in our multifamily guaranty book of business are currently making timely payments, we continue to monitor the performance of our substandard loan population. For more information on our credit quality indicators, including our population of substandard loans, see "Note 4, Mortgage Loans."
Our multifamily serious delinquency rate increased to 0.68% as of September 30, 2025, compared with 0.57% as of December 31, 2024. The new entrants to the seriously delinquent population consisted primarily of fixed-rate conventional loans. The impact of these new entrants was partially offset by the foreclosure of the remaining loans in a specific seniors housing portfolio that was written off in 2023. Our multifamily serious delinquency rate consists of multifamily loans that were 60 days or more past due based on unpaid principal balance, expressed as a percentage of our multifamily guaranty book of business.
Management monitors the multifamily serious delinquency rate as an indicator of potential future credit losses and loss mitigation activities. Serious delinquency rates are reflective of our performance in assessing and managing credit risk associated with multifamily loans in our guaranty book of business. A higher serious delinquency rate may result in a higher allowance for loan losses. The percentage of loans in our multifamily guaranty book of business that were 180 days or more delinquent was 0.51% as of September 30, 2025, compared with 0.44% as of December 31, 2024.
In addition to the credit performance information on our multifamily loans provided in this report, we provide additional information about the performance of our multifamily loans that back MBS and whole loan REMICs in the "Data Collections" section of our DUS Disclose®tool, available at www.fanniemae.com/dusdisclose. Information on our website is not incorporated into this report. Information in Data Collections may differ from similar measures presented in our financial statements and other public disclosures for a variety of reasons, including as a result of variations in the loan population covered, timing differences in reporting and other factors.
Multifamily REO Management
As of September 30, 2025, we held 188 multifamily REO properties with a carrying value of $1.0 billion, compared with 139 properties with a carrying value of $638 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in foreclosure activity was primarily driven by the remaining properties from a specific seniors housing portfolio that was written off in 2023.
Multifamily Credit Loss Performance Metrics
The amount of multifamily credit losses or gains we realize in a given period is driven by foreclosures, pre-foreclosure sales, post-foreclosure REO activity and other events that trigger write-offs and recoveries. Our multifamily credit loss performance metrics are not defined terms and may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For the purposes of our multifamily credit loss performance metrics, credit losses or gains represent write-offs net of recoveries and foreclosed property income or expense. We believe our multifamily credit losses, and our multifamily credit losses net of freestanding loss-sharing arrangements, provide useful information about our multifamily credit performance because they display our multifamily credit losses in the context of our multifamily guaranty book of business, including changes to the benefit we expect to receive from loss-sharing arrangements. Management views multifamily credit losses, net of freestanding loss-sharing arrangements, as a key metric related to our multifamily business model and our strategy to share multifamily credit risk.

Liquidity and Capital Management
Liquidity Management
This section supplements and updates information regarding liquidity management in our 2024 Form 10-K. See "MD&A-Liquidity and Capital Management-Liquidity Management" in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information, including discussions of our primary sources and uses of funds, our liquidity risk management practices and contingency planning, our liquidity requirements, factors that influence our debt funding activity, factors that may impact our access to or the cost of our debt funding and factors that could adversely affect our liquidity and funding. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all four components of the liquidity requirements outlined in our 2024 Form 10-K. Also see "Risk Factors-Liquidity Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of liquidity risks.
Debt Funding
The unpaid principal balance of our aggregate indebtedness was $129.2 billion as of September 30, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the senior preferred stock purchase agreement with Treasury, we are prohibited from issuing debt without the prior consent of Treasury if it would result in our aggregate indebtedness exceeding our outstanding debt limit, which
Fannie Mae Third Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
MD&A | Liquidity and Capital Management
is set to $270 billion. The calculation of our indebtedness for purposes of complying with our debt limit reflects the unpaid principal balance and excludes debt basis adjustments and debt of consolidated trusts.
Outstanding Debt
Total outstanding debt of Fannie Mae includes short-term and long-term debt and excludes debt of consolidated trusts. Short-term debt of Fannie Mae consists of borrowings with an original contractual maturity of one year or less and, therefore, does not include the current portion of long-term debt. Long-term debt of Fannie Mae consists of borrowings with an original contractual maturity of greater than one year.
The following chart and table display information on our outstanding short-term and long-term debt based on original contractual maturity. Our outstanding debt decreased in the first nine months of 2025 as our funding needs were primarily satisfied by earnings retained from our operations.

Corporate Liquidity Portfolio
The chart below displays information on the composition of our corporate liquidity portfolio. The balance and composition of our corporate liquidity portfolio fluctuates as a result of changes in our cash flows, liquidity in the fixed-income markets, and our liquidity risk management framework and practices. Our corporate liquidity portfolio decreased in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to the maturity of debt of Fannie Mae that was not replaced given our reduced funding needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We enter into certain business arrangements to facilitate our statutory purpose of providing liquidity to the secondary mortgage market and to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Some of these arrangements are not recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets or may be recorded in amounts different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction, depending on the nature or structure of, and the accounting required to be applied to, the arrangement. These arrangements are commonly referred to as "off-balance sheet arrangements" and expose us to potential losses in excess of the amounts recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Our off-balance sheet arrangements result primarily from the following:
our guaranty of mortgage loan securitization and resecuritization transactions over which we have no control, which are reflected in our unconsolidated Fannie Mae MBS net of any beneficial ownership interest we retain, and other financial guarantees that we do not control;
liquidity support transactions; and
partnership interests.
The total amount of our off-balance sheet exposure related to unconsolidated Fannie Mae MBS net of any beneficial interest that we retain, and other financial guarantees was $199.2 billion as of September 30, 2025 and $211.5 billion as of December 31, 2024. The majority of the other financial guarantees consists of Freddie Mac securities backing Fannie Mae structured securities. See "Guaranty Book of Business" and "Note 7, Financial Guarantees" for more information regarding our maximum exposure to loss on unconsolidated Fannie Mae MBS and Freddie Mac securities.
Our total outstanding liquidity commitments to advance funds for securities backed by multifamily housing revenue bonds totaled $3.7 billion as of September 30, 2025 and $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2024. These commitments require us to advance funds to third parties that enable them to repurchase tendered bonds or securities that are unable to be remarketed.
We have investments in various limited partnerships and similar legal entities, which consist of LIHTC investments, community investments and investments in other entities. When we do not have a controlling financial interest in those entities, our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect only our investment rather than the full amount of the partnership's assets and liabilities. See "Note 3, Consolidations and Transfers of Financial Assets-Unconsolidated VIEs" for information regarding our investments in limited partnerships and similar legal entities.

Cash Flows
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025. Cash and restricted cash increased from $38.5 billion as of December 31, 2024 to $39.4 billion as of September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by cash inflows from (1) proceeds from repayments of loans,(2) the sale of Fannie Mae MBS to third parties, (3) proceeds from issuance of debt of Fannie Mae, and (4) proceeds from the disposition of acquired property and insurance proceeds.
Largely offsetting these cash inflows were cash outflows primarily from (1) payments on outstanding debt of Fannie Mae and consolidated trusts (2) purchases of loans acquired as held for investment, (3) advances to lenders, and (4) purchases of securities purchased under agreements to resell.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024.Cash and restricted cash increased from $34.0 billion as of December 31, 2023 to $37.9 billion as of September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by cash inflows from (1) proceeds from repayments of loans, (2) the sale of Fannie Mae MBS to third parties, and (3) investments in securities purchased under agreements to resell.
Partially offsetting these cash inflows were cash outflows from (1) payments on outstanding debt of consolidated trusts, (2) purchases of loans held for investment, and (3) advances to lenders.

Outlook Stable Stable Stable
On May 19, 2025, Moody's Ratings ("Moody's") downgraded our long-term senior unsecured debt rating to Aa1 from Aaa and changed the outlook to stable from negative. This action followed Moody's downgrade of the U.S. Government's long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings to Aa1 from Aaa and change in outlook to stable from negative on May 16, 2025.
We have no covenants in our existing debt agreements that would be violated by a downgrade in our credit ratings. However, in connection with certain derivatives counterparties, we could be required to provide additional collateral to or terminate transactions with certain counterparties in the event that our senior unsecured debt ratings are downgraded. For a discussion of additional risks to our business relating to a decrease in our credit ratings, which could include an increase in our borrowing costs and limits on our ability to issue debt, see "MD&A-Liquidity and Capital Management-Liquidity Management-Credit Ratings" and "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Capital Requirements
For a description of our capital requirements under the enterprise regulatory capital framework, see "Business-Legislation and Regulation-Capital Requirements" in our 2024 Form 10-K. Although the enterprise regulatory capital framework went into effect in February 2021, we are not required to hold capital according to the framework's requirements until the date of termination of our conservatorship, or such later date as may be ordered by FHFA.
The table below sets forth information about our capital requirements under the standardized approach of the enterprise regulatory capital framework. As of September 30, 2025, we had a deficit in available capital for purposes of the enterprise regulatory capital framework even though we had positive net worth under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") of $105.5 billion primarily because the $120.8 billion stated value of the senior preferred stock does not qualify as regulatory capital. Our deficit in available capital for purposes of our risk-based adjusted total capital requirement declined $12 billion in the first nine months of 2025 from $37 billion as of December 31, 2024 to $25 billion as of September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, we had a $215 billion shortfall to our risk-based adjusted total capital requirement including buffers of $190 billion, and a $135 billion shortfall to our minimum risked-based adjusted total capital requirement excluding buffers of $110 billion. From December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025, our capital shortfall including buffers declined by $12 billion and our shortfall excluding buffers declined by $11 billion. These declines were primarily driven by increased retained earnings, which more than offset the modest rise in minimum capital requirements associated with higher risk-weighted assets during the first nine months of 2025. The increase in risk-weighted assets during the first nine months of 2025 was largely driven by loans we acquired during the period that carried higher credit risk-weights compared to seasoned loans that liquidated, as well as higher market risk associated with retained mortgage assets. The impact of these factors was partially offset by the benefit from credit risk transfer transactions.

Capital Activity
Under the terms governing the senior preferred stock, no dividends were payable to Treasury for the third quarter of 2025 and none are payable for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Under the terms governing the senior preferred stock, through and including the capital reserve end date, any increase in our net worth during a fiscal quarter results in an increase of the same amount in the aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock in the following quarter. The capital reserve end date is defined as the last day of the second consecutive fiscal quarter during which we have had and maintained capital equal to, or in excess of, all of the capital requirements and buffers under the enterprise regulatory capital framework.
As a result of these terms governing the senior preferred stock, the aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased to $223.1 billion as of September 30, 2025 from $219.8 billion as of June 30, 2025, due to the increase in our net worth in the second quarter of 2025. The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock will further increase to $227.0 billion as of December 31, 2025, due to the increase in our net worth in the third quarter of 2025. See "Business-Conservatorship and Treasury Agreements-Treasury Agreements" in our 2024 Form 10-K for more information on the terms of our senior preferred stock, including how the aggregate liquidation preference is determined.
Treasury Funding Commitment
Treasury made a commitment under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement to provide funding to us under certain circumstances if we have a net worth deficit. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining amount of Treasury's funding commitment to us was $113.9 billion. See "Note 2, Conservatorship, Senior Preferred Stock Purchase

Risk Management
We are exposed to the following principal risk categories: credit risk (including mortgage credit risk and institutional counterparty credit risk), market risk (including interest-rate risk), liquidity risk, operational risk (including cyber and other information security risk), model risk, strategic risk, compliance risk and reputational risk. See "MD&A-Risk Management," "MD&A-Single-Family Business-Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management," "MD&A-Multifamily Business-Multifamily Mortgage Credit Risk Management" and "MD&A-Liquidity and Capital Management" in our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of our management of the categories of risk we have determined present the most significant exposure.

Mortgage Servicers
On October 1, 2025, Rocket Companies, Inc., the parent company of Rocket Mortgage, LLC announced the completion of its acquisition of Mr. Cooper Group. As a result of this acquisition, our single-family servicing concentration is increasing. As of September 30, 2025, Rocket Mortgage serviced approximately 7%, and Mr. Cooper serviced approximately 9%, of our single-family guaranty book of business, excluding loans they service on behalf of other servicers. Including loans serviced on behalf of other servicers, Rocket Mortgage serviced approximately 7%, and Mr. Cooper serviced approximately 16%, of our single-family guaranty book of business, as of September 30, 2025. These servicing concentrations are based on unpaid principal balance. See "Risk Factors-Credit Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K for information about the potential impact if mortgage servicers fail to perform their obligations.
Market Risk Management, including Interest-Rate Risk Management
We are subject to market risk, which includes interest-rate risk and spread risk. These risks arise primarily from our mortgage asset investments. Interest-rate risk is the risk that movements in interest rates will adversely affect the value of our assets or liabilities or our future earnings or capital. Spread risk is the risk from changes in an instrument's value that relate to factors other than changes in interest rates. We do not currently actively manage or hedge, on an economic basis, our spread risk, or the interest-rate risk arising from cost basis adjustments and float income associated with mortgage assets held by our consolidated MBS trusts. See "MD&A-Risk Management-Market Risk Management, including Interest-Rate Risk Management" and "Risk Factors-Market and Industry Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information, including our sources of interest-rate risk exposure, business risks posed by changes in interest rates, and our strategy for managing interest-rate risk. For additional information on the impact of interest-rate risk on our earnings, see "Earnings Exposure to Interest-Rate Risk" below.

Measurement of Interest-Rate Risk
The table below displays the pre-tax market value sensitivity of our net portfolio to changes in the level of interest rates and the slope of the applicable yield curve as measured on the last day of each period presented. We collectively define our net portfolio as: our retained mortgage portfolio assets; our corporate liquidity portfolio; outstanding debt of Fannie Mae used to fund the retained mortgage portfolio assets and corporate liquidity portfolio; mortgage commitments; and risk management derivatives. The table below also provides the daily average, minimum, maximum and standard deviation values for duration gap and for the most adverse market value impact on the net portfolio to changes in the level of interest rates and the slope of the applicable yield curve for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Our practice is to allow interest rates to go below zero in the downward shock models unless otherwise prevented through contractual floors.
For information on how we measure our interest-rate risk, see "MD&A-Risk Management-Market Risk Management, including Interest-Rate Risk Management" in our 2024 Form 10-K.

We use derivatives to help manage the residual interest-rate risk exposure between the assets and liabilities in our net portfolio. Derivatives have enabled us to keep our economic interest-rate risk exposure at consistently low levels in a wide range of interest-rate environments. The table below displays an example of how derivatives impacted the net market value exposure for a 50 basis point parallel interest-rate shock.

Earnings Exposure to Interest-Rate Risk
While we manage the interest-rate risk of our net portfolio with the objective of remaining neutral to movements in interest rates and volatility on an economic basis, our earnings can experience volatility due to interest-rate changes and differing accounting treatments that apply to certain financial instruments on our balance sheet. Specifically, we have exposure to earnings volatility that is driven by changes in interest rates in two primary areas: our net portfolio and our consolidated MBS trusts. The exposure in the net portfolio is primarily driven by changes in the fair value of risk management derivatives, mortgage commitments, and certain assets, primarily securities, that are carried at fair value. The exposure related to our consolidated MBS trusts relates to changes in our credit loss reserves and to the amortization of cost basis adjustments resulting from changes in interest rates.
We apply fair value hedge accounting to address some of the exposure to interest rates, particularly the earnings volatility related to changes in benchmark interest rates. Our hedge accounting program is specifically designed to address the volatility of our financial results associated with changes in fair value related to changes in these benchmark interest rates. As such, earnings variability driven by other factors, such as spreads or changes in cost basis amortization recognized in net interest income, remains. In addition, our ability to effectively reduce earnings volatility is dependent upon the volume and type of interest-rate swaps available for hedging, which is driven by our interest-rate risk management strategy discussed above and in our 2024 Form 10-K. As our range of available interest-rate swaps varies over time, our ability to reduce earnings volatility through hedge accounting may vary as well. When the shape of the yield curve shifts significantly from period to period, hedge accounting may be less effective. In our current program, we establish new hedging relationships each business day to provide flexibility in our overall risk management strategy.
See "Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our 2024 Form 10-K and "Note 9, Derivative Instruments" in this report for additional information on our fair value hedge accounting policy and related disclosures.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management judgment and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We describe our most significant accounting policies in "Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in this report and in our 2024 Form 10-K.
We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on changing conditions. Management has discussed any significant changes in judgments and assumptions in applying our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. See "Risk Factors-General Risk" in our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of the risks associated with the need for management to make judgments and estimates in applying our accounting policies and methods. We have identified one of our accounting estimates, allowance for loan losses, as critical because it involves significant judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters, and the use of reasonably different judgments and assumptions could have a material impact on our reported results of operations or financial condition.
Fannie Mae Third Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
MD&A | Critical Accounting Estimates
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of single-family and multifamily HFI loan receivables that we expect will not be collected related to loans held by Fannie Mae or by consolidated Fannie Mae MBS trusts. The expected credit losses are deducted from the amortized cost basis of HFI loans to present the net amount expected to be received.
The allowance for loan losses involves substantial judgment on a number of matters including the development and weighting of macroeconomic forecasts, the reversion period applied, the assessment of similar risk characteristics, which determines the historic loss experience used to derive probability of loan default, the valuation of collateral, which includes judgments about the property condition at the time of foreclosure, and the determination of a loan's remaining expected life. Our most significant judgments involved in estimating our allowance for loan losses relate to the modeled macroeconomic data used to develop reasonable and supportable forecasts for key economic drivers, which are subject to significant inherent uncertainty. Most notably, for single-family, the model uses forecasted single-family home prices as well as a range of possible future interest rate environments. For multifamily, the model uses forecasted net operating income and property valuations. In developing a reasonable and supportable forecast, the model simulates multiple paths of interest rates, rental income and property values based on current market conditions.
Quantitative Component
We use a discounted cash flow method to measure expected credit losses on our single-family mortgage loans and an undiscounted loss method to measure expected credit losses on our multifamily mortgage loans.
Our modeled loan performance is based on our historical experience of loans with similar risk characteristics adjusted to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Our historical loss experience and our loan loss estimates capture the possibility of a multitude of events, including remote events that could result in credit losses on loans that are considered low risk. Our credit loss models, including the macroeconomic forecast data used as key inputs, are subject to our model oversight and review processes as well as other established governance and controls.
Qualitative Component
Our process for measuring expected credit losses is complex and involves significant management judgment, including a reliance on historical loss information and current economic forecasts that may not be representative of credit losses we ultimately realize. Management adjustments may be necessary to take into consideration external factors and current macroeconomic events that have occurred but are not yet reflected in the data used to derive the model outputs. Qualitative factors and events not previously observed by the models through historical loss experience may also be considered, as well as the uncertainty of their impact on credit loss estimates.
Macroeconomic Variables and Sensitivities
Our benefit or provision for credit losses can vary substantially from period to period based on forecasted macroeconomic inputs. For single-family, we have determined that our most significant macroeconomic inputs used in determining our allowance for loan losses consist of forecasted home price growth rates and interest rates. For multifamily, we have determined that our most significant macroeconomic inputs used in determining our allowance for loan losses consist of net operating income and property value growth rates.
In evaluating the sensitivities of our allowance to these macroeconomic inputs, it is difficult to estimate how potential changes in any one factor or input might affect the overall credit loss estimates, because management considers a wide variety of factors and inputs in estimating the allowance for loan losses. Changes in the factors and inputs considered may not occur at the same rate and may not be consistent across all geographies or loan types, and changes in factors and inputs may be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor or input may offset deterioration in others. Changes in our assumptions and forecasts of economic conditions could significantly affect our estimate of expected credit losses and lead to significant changes in the estimate from one reporting period to the next.
We provide more detailed information on our accounting for the allowance for loan losses in "Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our 2024 Form 10-K. See "Note 5, Allowance for Loan Losses" for additional information about our current period (provision) benefit for loan losses.

Single-Family Sensitivities and Inputs
The table below provides information about our most significant macroeconomic inputs used in determining our single-family allowance for loan losses: forecasted home price growth rates and interest rates. Although the model consumes a wide range of possible regional home price forecasts and interest rate scenarios that take into account inherent uncertainty, the forecasts below represent the mean path of those simulations used in determining the single-family allowance for each quarter through the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and for each quarter during the year ended December 31, 2024, and how those forecasts have changed between periods of estimate. Below we present our home price growth and interest rate estimates used in our estimate of expected credit losses.
